Intervention
sensitive settings | creative solutions
By reading existing layers of memory, atmosphere and community we can write a meaningful next chapter - creative solutions which are conscious of the deep roots they grow from.

Conservation
historic buildings | considered repairs | adaptive reuse
Looking beyond a building’s skin to learn from its structure or looking beyond a building’s present to find lesser-known stories - whether repairing or adapting, designs can learn from what is beneath the surface.

Addition
one-off designs | targeted transformation
Small interventions can have an enormous effect on even the largest of buildings when designed to compliment the whole - if done well, new shoots can speak of the whole tree.

Feasibility
feasible solutions | complex contexts
Mapping all conceivable opportunities and constraints of a site to inform ways in which it might grow - helping to materialise possible futures for places at risk of being lost.
